Old-time gospel singer and songwriter Dr. Panam Percy Paul has revealed that he turned down a £24 million (approximately N50bn) record deal in 1995 because it required him to restrict the number of times he said “Jesus” in his songs.
In an interview with Pastor Emmanuel Iren, Panam Persy said that the three-year deal, valued over N7 billion at the time, included terms that would have jeopardised his religion.

Instead of openly singing ‘Jesus’, the record label advised he use alternate names such as “Righteous One” or “Greatest Lover”.
“The catch was, ‘Can you reduce the number of times you call the name Jesus in your songs?’
“One of them even said to me, ‘You actually don’t need to mention the name Jesus. You can call Him other names.’
“I was shocked, so I told them, ‘You can keep the money while I keep the name,” Panam Persy Paul narrated.
He also expressed alarm about the growing commercialisation of gospel music, claiming that record labels and marketers increasingly influence how artists make their songs.
“Today, the extreme is that the music ministry has now become a music industry,” Panam Persy Paul lamented. “The industry now dictates to the ministers what to do, how to sing, and when to sing.”
